Liberon Exterior Wood Protector

Liberon Exterior Wood Protector is a versatile exterior wood treatment which gives a water and UV resistant finish to most types of exposed timber. The clear finish will not alter the natural colour of the wood, but will instead form a protective barrier against weathering, sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Ideal for use on both horizontal and vertical timbers, Liberon Exterior Wood Protector is suitable for use on wooden pergolas, balustrades, fences, garden furniture and summer houses. It offers long lasting protection for up to 3 years on vertical timbers in most climates, and up to 18 months on horizontal timbers.

• For exterior Oak, we recommend the use of Morrells Tung Oil

Ensure that surfaces to be treated are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

Bare or New Timber

• Lightly sand new or bare wood and remove any sanding dust
• If required, surfaces can be cleaned or degreased by wiping with a lint-free cloth dampened with methylated spirit

Old Timber

• Old wood can be cleaned, if required, with a suitable decking cleaner prior to coating
• Fill any holes or gaps in the wood with a suitable wood filler

Hardwood Timber

It is recommended to leave the wood exposed for up to 12 months before applying this product. This allows the grain in the wood to open and breathe and aids adhesion of the product.

Previously Finished Timber

All previous finishes must be removed by sanding back to bare wood or using a suitable paint stripper / product remover prior to applying Liberon Exterior Wood Protector.

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Ensure the weather conditions will be dry for 24 hours before application.

1. Stir thoroughly before and periodically during use.
2. Apply a generous, but not too thick, coat of Exterior Wood Protector with a synthetic paint brush or microfibre roller
3. Allow to dry for 2 hours, then apply a second coat
4. A third coat may be necessary on very porous timbers
5. Any unabsorbed product remaining on the surface should be evened out with a brush to avoid unsightly marks
6. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours before use

Please Note: This product may not be suitable for some foreign hardwoods, so always test on an inconspicuous area.

Regular Cleaning

Treated wooden surfaces can be wiped clean with a dampened lint-free cloth.

Maintenance

If the finish begins to show signs of wear over time, simply apply a fresh coat of Liberon Exterior Wood Protector, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.
